Gary Warren (born 16 August 1984) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.
Warren's football career began at Mangotsfield United in the Southern League, for whom he played between 2002 and 2006. He rose up through the youth & reserve ranks to the first team and made his debut for Mangotsfield away to Evesham United on 1 April 2003. He played a pivotol role in the team's 2004–2005 Southern League – Western Division championship-winning side. His career record with Mangotsfield totaled 164 appearances with 11 goals.
In the summer transfer window of 2006, Warren went on trial at Bristol Rovers, with a view to permanent contract, but he eventually opted to join Team Bath.
In July 2009, following the disbandment of Team Bath, Warren signed for Newport County, then in the Conference South. He made his debut against Mansfield Town. Warren was immediately a regular for Newport and was appointed captain. In the 2009–10 season Newport County were crowned Conference South champions with a record 103 points, 28 points ahead of second-placed Dover Athletic.
In the 2010–11 season, Warren was linked with a £10k move to League Two side Cheltenham Town. This bid was rejected, with manager Anthony Hudson criticising Cheltenham for their offer, describing it as a 'insult'. Hudson also insisted the club had no plans to sell Warren.
